Cologne
Upon arrival in Cologne, you’ll be greeted by the awe-inspiring Kölner Dom, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most iconic Gothic cathedrals in Europe. Take time to explore its magnificent interior and admire the intricate stained-glass windows.

Wander through the charming Old Town, with its cobblestone streets, traditional architecture, and lively atmosphere. Be sure to visit St. Martin’s Church, a striking example of Romanesque design.

This tour was absolutly amazin! Being able to see both Antwerp and Cologne in just one day is incredible. Our guide was very knowledgable and provided us with so much information about each city. The transport was comfortable, and we had enough time at each location to explore and take pictures. I highly recomend this tour to anyone visiting Amsterdam who wants to experience these two iconic cities without spending multiple days.

"This tour gives you a taste of Cologne and Antwerp and its very much worth it if you have limited time in Amsterdam but want to experience some of the neighboring countries Our guide Jorge, was great and very communicative so we all knew where to meet and what was going on. The bus ride is long but that is to be expected since you are traversing 3 countries in one day haha We had some issues with the bus driver hours and had to switch drivers but Jorge handled the situation well and we were on our way within an hour of the issue. All in all, we enjoyed our trip and would recommend it to anyone with limited time wanting to see some more beautiful cities!"

Jorge was an amazing tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Koln & Antwerp. It was a long day, but it was a fun adventure. I would highly recommend this tour with Jorge. One caveat is there is a lot of walking. It's fine if you're average fitness or better.

As a history enthusiast, visiting Antwerp and Cologne was a profound experience, made even more significant by our guide's insightful commentary. Transitioning from the unique charm of Antwerp to the vibrant energy of Cologne showcased the diverse heritage of Europe. The tour was well-organized, with ample time to explore each city. Despite the long day, I felt invigorated by the knowledge gained and the sights seen. This tour is a must for anyone wanting to delve into European history.
